THE WARREN EMPORIUM
Reported TO Have Been Sold 90 the
ID. & NJ. R.R.

A rumor was started yesterday, and it
appeared to be well founded, for it origi-
nally ZANE from one of the employees at
Warren's, that the Warren emporium had
been sold to representatives of the Bur-
lington & Missouri railroad. for u large
sum and that the company had bought it
for the purpose of converting it into a
depot. Whether such was the fact THE
LEADER is unable to state. One thing is
certain, however. and that is that Gov
ernor Warren went East yesterday with
the general superintendent of the Burling-
ton & Missouri, but what happened be-
tween the governor and the company prior
to his departure could not learned.
1t should b stated that those in the
employ of Governor Warren who might
be supposed to know something regarding
the matter, deny having any knowledge of
the sale.

cost him 81 1000. The sale of John Eunes'

Alleged -Crookedness.

DENVER, June l6 Considerable ex-
Gitement was created in political circles
here this morning by the grand jury re-
turning six indictments against Sheriff
Cramer for false pretenses and malfea.
sance in office. 1t is alleged that the
sheriff has been in the habit of making
o~vercharges for Transporting prisoners to
the penitentiary, charging IS per day for
guards, when in fact he has been only
paying them 81 and SO, and other illegal
transactions of a similar character.
Indictments have also been returned
against Under Sheriff j. NJ. Chivington,
Deputies Lynds aud Thornton, charg-
them with perjury in charging for SER
vices never rendered.
Deputy Sheriff Sprock went on the
sheriff's bond of $1,000 for his appear
ance in the criminal court to day and the
sheriff went bail for the appearance of his
deputies. The sheriff declares there has
been no illegal transactions in his Office
and the matter is a persecution upon the
part of political enemies, and he has no
fear but that he will be able to vfndicate
himself of the charges.
Col. Chivington was the officer who in
1864 led two regiments of volunteers IN
the famous Sand creek massacre in South
ern Colorado, at which time several hun
dred Arapahoe and Cheyenne Indians
were butchered.

A Brave and Patriotic Act.

New YORK, June l6.-The Post says:
A dispatch from Washington to the Bal
timore Sun OF this morning quotes a gen.
tleman Of prominence in political circles,
probably Secretary Bayard, as saying:
The ord, is one Of the bravest and most
patriotic actions ever performed by the
executive of a great people. By a stroke
of his pen the president has done more to
unite the states and confirm the union
han all precedent proclamations and leg
i~slation. There never can be q united
people so long as the conquerors in the
civil war glory over the conquered, and
anything which keeps alive the feeling OF
once existing sectional hatred should be
wiped out. The act of the president is
brave because it has already aroused the
rage of professional Office seeking soldier
organizations and partisan journals, which
serve many causes and have no other ex-
cuses for being than to keep alive and be
queath from father to son a never dying
spirit OF hatred" 0

The Presidents Instructions.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The follow
ing letter was sent to the secretary of war
by the president to-day in regard to the
disposition of the flags captured by Union
forces during the late war:
Il have to day considered with more
care than when the subject was orally pre-.
<ented to me the action Of your depart
ment directing letters to be addressed to
the governors of all states. offering to re.
turn, if desired, to loyal states of the
Union flags captured during the war Of
the rebellion by confederate forces and
afterwards recovered by government
troops, and to confederate states flags
captured by Union forces, all of which for
many years have been packed in boxes and
stood in the cellar and attic of the war
department.
II am of opinion that the return of the
flags in the manner thus contemplated is
not authorized by existing law nor iustI,
fed as an executive act. Request, there
fore, that no further steps be taken in the
matter except to examine and inventory
these flags and adopt proper measures for
their preservation. Any direction as to
the final disposition of them should orig.
mate with congress. Yours truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND"

The Battery at Champion Hills.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: L. z. Hays,
Co. X, sd Ohio, exhibits considerable assur-
ance in claiming the honor of capturing that
battery at Champion Hills, Miss. Comrade
Ensign, of the 12ith Ill, is substantially cor
rect. The Goth, 3lst, 45th 124th ILL.,, and 23d
Ind. formed the First Brigade, Third Division,
Seventeenth Corps, and they are the boys who
charged at Champion Hills on the 18th day Of
May, 1863 and took the battery, as Gen. John
E. Smith. who commanded the brigade, can
attest; also, Maj. Stalbrand, who was Chief OF
Artillery on Gen. Logan's staff. Seeing the
rebels coming down the hill, Maj. Stalbrand
exclaimed, "Sheneral, look at dem; dey are
coming in two lines for my pattery!"
Gen. Smith remarked, "Let them come;
guess i can receive them" and Immediately
gave the command, "Forward-Double-qui
March !" We met the Johnnies in the
branch, and they were ours. / think if there
are any of tho 43d Ga. living they could tel
who met them at Champion Hills. 1t may be
that the 32d Ohio got the battery, but it was
after the rebels had all been taken in by the
First Brigade, and have always been at los:
to know why Gen. John E. Smith did not claim
all that was due US on that day. b. kUY
